KAI president Michael Kennedy, Jr said: “This acquisition is important to KAI for several reasons. We now have a broader reach in Atlanta that will extend all the way from our headquarters in St. Louis, down to Jacksonville, Florida, and around our existing offices in Texas and Nebraska.

“Each of our great companies brings complementary strengths that combine to a sum much greater than our individual parts.”

“Acquiring Dorsey also enables us to have greater opportunities in a prime engineering-focused role, as opposed to being an engineering subconsultant, which has generally been KAI Engineering’s role in the past.

“Dorsey Engineering has earned a reputation for engineering quality with superior name recognition. Both of our clientele will benefit greatly from our shared resources at the national level.”

Dorsey Engineering owner Brad H Dorsey will remain with the firm to facilitate a smooth transition during the transition period, and then work as a consultant until his retirement.
